I have been growing rhubarb for a few years now. I got a starter plant from a co-worker and ever since I planted it, it gets bigger and better each year!
I had a tiny bit of free time the other day and made the MOST FABULOUS rhubarb cake!
Just simply DE-LISH!
You have GOT to try it!
I got the recipe from allrecipies.com, great website because it gives reviews and you can change the recipes for larger quantities etc..
Here is the recipe for the cake I made.. It was rated 5 out of 5 stars! You can't miss with this one!
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar

Yummy, that looks so very good. Speaking of rhubarb--my mom just gave us some loaves of rhubarb bread & jam. Amazing how many things you can make with it.
